The sedimentary sequences since the Late Pleistocene can be divided into Layers E, D, C, B, A from old to young according to systematic analysis of grain-size, pollen and spore, diatom, foraminifera, radiocarbon dating and paleogeomagnetism of 16 sedimentary cores from the sea area of the western Taiwan Strait.The results proved the existences of the Langqi transgression (upper section of Layer D) formed in middle and late stages of early Würm glacial period, Fuzhou transgression (Layer C) formed in Würm sub-interglacial period and Changle transgression (Layer A) formed in postglacial period.It was also the first time to discover the Jinmen transgression (Layer E) formed in Riss-Würm interglacial period.In this paper it is proposed that most part of the Taiwan Strait emerged as land in the early stage of early Würm glacial period, and was still under sublittoral environment in late Würm glacial period, as well as the existence of Dongshan Continental Bridge was in 8×103 a BP.
